Field Experiences
The teacher education program requires field experiences in conjunction with several courses in addition to the intern/student-teaching requirement.
Students are expected to make their own arrangements for transportation and housing and absorb the costs related to field experiences and internship or student teaching.
Each program has different requirements, and students should discuss costs with the program head prior to applying for admission to the teacher education program.
Students are expected to observe professional standards for dress, prompt attendance, and behavior in field experiences as guests in host schools.
The goal of professional education clinical and field experiences is to help teacher education students learn to teach all of their pupils to achieve at high levels of performance.
Although each field experience requirement has its own specific purpose and placement procedures, the strategies to achieve this goal are stated below:
1. Field experience placements are made so that students have the opportunity to work with qualified educators in successful programs.
2. Field experience placements are made so that students have the opportunity to work with diverse learners.
3. Field experiences placements are made in collaboration with B-12 school personnel.
4. Field experience placements are made to facilitate appropriate supervision of students.
